Evaluation Report Summary: SEC-00168, De Soto Avenue Facility

This evaluation report by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 

addresses a class of employees proposed for addition to the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) per the 

Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 

§ 7384 et seq. (EEOICPA) and 42 C.F.R. pt. 83, Procedures for Designating Classes of Employees 

as Members of the Special Exposure Cohort Under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000.

NIOSH-Proposed Class Definition

All employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor agencies, and their contractors and 

subcontractors who worked at the De Soto Avenue Facility in Los Angeles County, California, from 

January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work 

days, occurring either solely under this employment or in combination with work days within the 

parameters established for one or more other classes of employees included in the Special Exposure 

Cohort.

Feasibility of Dose Reconstruction Findings

NIOSH lacks sufficient information, which includes biological monitoring data, sufficient air 

monitoring information, or sufficient process and radiological source information, to allow it to 

estimate with sufficient accuracy the potential internal exposures to various radionuclides to which the 

proposed class may have been subjected. NIOSH finds that it is likely feasible to reconstruct external 

dose, including occupational medical dose, for De Soto Avenue Facility workers with sufficient 

accuracy.

The NIOSH dose reconstruction feasibility findings are based on the following:

• Principal sources of both internal and external radiation doses for members of the NIOSHproposed class included exposures to uranium and fission products. These sources of exposure 

were also present at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL), Area IV. The De Soto Avenue 

and SSFL-Area IV facilities were related facilities, both operated by Atomics International, a 

division of North American Aviation. 

• NIOSH previously determined in its evaluation of petition SEC-00093 that some SSFL-Area IV 

workers could have received intakes of radioactive materials that went unmonitored from the 

beginning of the covered period for SSFL-Area IV operations in 1955 through the end of 1958, 

and that limitations in the available data did not allow NIOSH to estimate such radiation doses 

with sufficient accuracy. Subsequently, NIOSH determined in its evaluation of petition SEC00156 that similar limitations in data also existed for the 1959 through 1964 time period. NIOSH 

has recommended SEC classes for SSFL-Area IV workers, covering the time period from January 

1, 1955 through December 31, 1964.

• NIOSH has found that the internal radiation monitoring program in place at the De Soto Avenue 

Facility during this time period was the same program that was in place for SSFL-Area IV, and the 

resulting data generated from both facilities had similar limitations.
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

4 of 77

• NIOSH has determined that, like workers at the SSFL-Area IV facility, De Soto Avenue Facility 

workers could have also received unmonitored intakes of radioactive materials during the years 

prior to 1965. Due to similar limitations in the available data for the two sites, NIOSH has 

determined that, like SSFL-Area IV, it cannot estimate radiation doses to De Soto Avenue Facility 

workers with sufficient accuracy from the beginning of covered De Soto Avenue operations in 

1959 through the end of 1964.

• Pursuant to 42 C.F.R. § 83.13(c)(1), NIOSH determined that there is insufficient information to 

either: (1) estimate the maximum radiation dose, for every type of cancer for which radiation 

doses are reconstructed, that could have been incurred under plausible circumstances by any 

member of the class; or (2) estimate the radiation doses of members of the class more precisely 

than a maximum dose estimate.

• Although NIOSH found that it is not possible to completely reconstruct radiation doses for the 

proposed class, NIOSH intends to use any internal and external monitoring data that may become 

available for an individual claim (and that can be interpreted using existing NIOSH dose 

reconstruction processes or procedures). Therefore, dose reconstructions for individuals employed 

at the De Soto Avenue Facility during the period from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 

1964, but who do not qualify for inclusion in the SEC, may be performed using these data as 

appropriate.

Health Endangerment Determination

The NIOSH evaluation did not identify any evidence supplied by the petitioners or from other 

resources that would establish that the class was exposed to radiation during a discrete incident likely 

to have involved exceptionally high-level exposures, such as nuclear criticality incidents or other 

events involving similarly high levels of exposures. However, the evidence reviewed in this 

evaluation indicates that some workers in the class may have accumulated chronic radiation exposures 

through intakes of fission products and other radionuclides, as well as from direct exposure to 

radioactive materials. Therefore, 42 C.F.R. § 83.13(c)(3)(ii) requires NIOSH to specify that health 

may have been endangered for those workers covered by this evaluation who were employed for a 

number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days within the parameters established for this 

class or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more other 

classes of employees in the SEC.

SEC Petition Evaluation Report for SEC-00168

ATTRIBUTION AND ANNOTATION: This is a single-author document. All conclusions drawn from 

the data presented in this evaluation were made by the ORAU Team Lead Technical Evaluator: Chris 

Miles, Quantaflux, LLC. The rationales for all conclusions in this document are explained in the 

associated text.

1.0 Purpose and Scope

This report evaluates the feasibility of reconstructing doses for employees who worked at a specific 

facility during a specified time. It provides information and analysis germane to considering a petition 

for adding a class of employees to the Congressionally-created SEC.

This report does not make any determinations concerning the feasibility of dose reconstruction that 

necessarily apply to any individual energy employee who might require a dose reconstruction from 

NIOSH, with the exception of the employee whose dose reconstruction could not be completed, and 

whose claim consequently led to this petition evaluation. The finding in this report is not the final 

determination as to whether or not the proposed class will be added to the SEC. This report will be 

considered by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (the Board) and by the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Secretary of HHS will make final decisions concerning 

whether or not to add one or more classes to the SEC in response to the petition addressed by this 

report.

This evaluation, in which NIOSH provides its findings both on the feasibility of estimating radiation 

doses of members of this class with sufficient accuracy and on health endangerment, was conducted in 

accordance with the requirements of EEOICPA and 42 C.F.R. § 83.14.

2.0 Introduction

Both EEOICPA and 42 C.F.R. pt. 83 require NIOSH to evaluate qualified petitions requesting that the 

Department of Health and Human Services add a class of employees to the SEC. The evaluation is 

intended to provide a fair, science-based determination of whether it is feasible to estimate, with 

sufficient accuracy, the radiation doses of the proposed class of employees through NIOSH dose 

reconstructions.

1

NIOSH is required to document its evaluation in a report, and to do so, relies upon both its own dose 

reconstruction expertise as well as technical support from its contractor, Oak Ridge Associated 

Universities (ORAU). Once completed, NIOSH provides the report to both the petitioners and the 

Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. The Board will consider the NIOSH evaluation 

report, together with the petition, comments of the petitioner(s) and such other information as the 

Board considers appropriate, to make recommendations to the Secretary of HHS on whether or not to 

add one or more classes of employees to the SEC. Once NIOSH has received and considered the 

advice of the Board, the Director of NIOSH will propose a decision on behalf of HHS. The Secretary 

of HHS will make the final decision, taking into account the NIOSH evaluation, the advice of the 

 1 NIOSH dose reconstructions under EEOICPA are performed using the methods promulgated under 42 C.F.R. pt. 82 and 

the detailed implementation guidelines available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas.

Board, and the proposed decision issued by NIOSH. As part of this final decision process, the 

petitioner(s) may seek a review of certain types of final decisions issued by the Secretary of HHS.

3.0 NIOSH-Proposed Class Definition and Petition Basis

The NIOSH-proposed class includes all employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor 

agencies, and their contractors and subcontractors who worked at the De Soto Avenue Facility in Los 

Angeles County, California, from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, for a number of work 

days aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this employment or in 

combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more other classes of 

employees included in the Special Exposure Cohort. During this period, employees at this facility 

were involved with the operation of a small research reactor, nuclear fuel fabrication, gamma 

irradiations, mass spectroscopy of neutron-irradiated samples, and various radiochemistry operations. 

The evaluation responds to Petition SEC-00168, which was submitted by an EEOICPA claimant 

whose dose reconstruction could not be completed by NIOSH due to a lack of sufficient dosimetryrelated information. NIOSH’s determination that it is unable to complete a dose reconstruction for an

EEOICPA claimant is a qualified basis for submitting an SEC petition pursuant to 42 C.F.R. § 

83.9(b).

NIOSH has determined that the De Soto Avenue Facility shared many radiological control and 

monitoring practices, as well as radiological monitoring records programs, with Area IV of the Santa

Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). Both of these facilities were operated during the same time period 

by Atomics International.

There is currently one class of SSFL-Area IV workers associated with the NIOSH evaluation of SEC 

petition SEC-00093, for which the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) has designated 

inclusion in the Special Exposure Cohort:

Class added to the SEC effective July 18, 2009: Employees of the Department of Energy (DOE), 

its predecessor agencies, and DOE contractors and subcontractors who worked in any area of 

Area IV of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 

work days from January 1, 1955 through December 31, 1958, or in combination with work days 

within the parameters established for one or more other classes of employees in the SEC (HHS, 

2009).

Detailed information associated with the SEC-00093 worker class added to the SEC can be found in 

the NIOSH evaluation report, SEC Petition Evaluation Report for Petition SEC-00093, Santa Susana 

Field Laboratory-Area IV (NIOSH, 2009). The basis for this 1955-1958 SEC class was the 

determination that NIOSH does not have access to sufficient personnel monitoring, workplace 

monitoring, or source term data to bound potential internal exposures from the various radionuclides 

for the evaluated worker class at Area IV of SSFL during the period from January 1, 1955 through 

December 31, 1958 (HHS, 2009).

 2 See 42 C.F.R. pt. 83 for a full description of the procedures summarized here. Additional internal procedures are 

available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas.
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

9 of 77

Through the course of ongoing dose reconstruction, continued data capture efforts, and investigations

associated with SEC-00093, NIOSH subsequently determined that insufficient access controls were

employed at SSFL-Area IV. As a result, there were some workers who should have been monitored, 

but were not, and who could have received unmonitored intakes of radioactive materials after 1958. 

During this subsequent investigation, NIOSH determined that the available bioassay data have 

limitations prior to 1965, which preclude the development of adequate co-worker dose distribution 

models for the years prior to 1965. These NIOSH findings were presented in a second NIOSH 

evaluation report for Area IV of the SSFL, SEC Petition Evaluation Report for Petition SEC-00156, 

Santa Susana Field Laboratory-Area IV (NIOSH, 2010), which resulted in NIOSH proposing a 

second SEC class to include DOE employees who worked at Area IV of the SSFL from January 1, 

1959 through December 31, 1964.

Because the De Soto Avenue Facility shared many radiological practices and radiological recordkeeping programs with the SSFL-Area IV facility, NIOSH has determined that it also does not have 

access to sufficient personnel monitoring, workplace monitoring, or source term data to bound 

potential unmonitored internal exposures that may have occurred at the De Soto Avenue Facility from 

the beginning of the facility’s DOE operations in 1959 through the end of those operations in 1964.

4.0 Radiological Operations Relevant to the Proposed Class 

The following subsections summarize the radiological operations at the De Soto Avenue Facility from 

January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, and the information available to NIOSH to characterize 

particular processes and radioactive source materials. Using available sources, NIOSH has attempted 

to gather process and source descriptions, information regarding the identity and quantities of 

radionuclides of concern, and information describing processes through which the radiation exposures 

of concern may have occurred and the physical environment in which they may have occurred. The 

information included within this evaluation report is meant only to be a summary of the available 

information.

4.1 Operations Description

This section describes the operations at the De Soto Avenue Facility that are relevant to the NIOSHproposed SEC class for all workers from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964.

Radiological operations occurred at the De Soto Avenue Facility from 1959 through 1964, and 

beyond. These operations involved work with nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials in 

Buildings 001 and 004. In later years, these building numbers were changed to Buildings 101 and 

104, respectively (Boeing, 2003). The following paragraphs briefly summarize the nuclear operations 

in these buildings.

L-77 Reactor (NRC Licensed) 

The L-77 small research reactor operated in Building 004 from 1960 to 1976. The L-77 was a lowpower (10 W) reactor that used enriched uranyl sulfate solution. The L-77 was a prototype teaching 

reactor sold to many universities and around the world (Boeing, 2003).
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

10 of 77

Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Fuel Fabrication and Supporting Activities 

Fuel fabrication operations were conducted in Building 001, with radiochemistry support operations 

conducted in Building 004. These support activities included hot chemistry laboratories, an emission 

spectroscopy laboratory, and an x-ray diffraction laboratory (Boeing, 2003). 

Many fuel manufacturing programs were conducted during the 1960s and 1970s, using 2% to 93% 

enriched uranium metal and composites. One of the larger programs was fuel manufacturing for the 

ATR using uranium-aluminum plates (Boeing, 2003). 

Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) 

This aboveground vault in Building 004 used sealed cesium-137 and cobalt-60 sources for radiationhardening tests of electronic components and for food irradiation research (Boeing, 2003).

Mass Spectroscopy Laboratory (Helium Laboratory) 

The mass spectroscopy laboratory was used to analyze radioactive specimens of neutron-irradiated 

radioactive samples for helium content. These samples were shipped from other U.S. and 

international research organizations. The mass spectroscopy laboratory was located in Building 004

(Boeing, 2003).

4.2 Radiation Exposure Potential from Operations

The potential for external radiation dose existed at the De Soto Avenue Facility in all areas where 

radioactive materials were handled or stored. Based on the site operations outlined in Section 4.1, 

sources of exposure included photon and beta radiation emitted from the various radioactive materials 

used at the site. To a lesser extent, neutron exposures could have resulted from operating the small 

research reactor and from operations involving nuclear fuel.

The primary potential sources of internal radiation exposure at the site were inhalation and ingestion 

of radioactive contamination that could have resulted from operations involving unsealed radioactive 

materials, such as nuclear fuel fabrication, radiochemistry, and mass spectroscopy operations.

4.3 Time Period Associated with Radiological Operations

Per the DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security, the time period associated with DOE operations at 

the De Soto Avenue Facility is from 1959-1995, with a DOE remediation period of 1998 (DOE, 

2010). As presented in Section 3.0 of this report, HHS has already designated that SSFL-Area IV 

workers during the period January 1, 1955 through December 31, 1958 be included in the SEC, and 

NIOSH has subsequently proposed a second SEC class for SSFL-Area IV due to the continued 

inability to estimate, with sufficient accuracy, the total internal dose for the employees of SSFL-Area 

IV extending through December 31, 1964 (NIOSH, 2010). Because the De Soto Avenue Facility 

shared many radiological practices and radiological record-keeping programs with the SSFL-Area IV 

facility, NIOSH has determined that the same dose reconstruction infeasibilities exist for the De Soto 

Avenue Facility as were found for SSFL-Area IV in petition evaluation reports SEC-00093 (NIOSH 

2009) and SEC-00156 (NIOSH 2010). The period of radiological operations associated with this 

evaluation of the De Soto Avenue Facility begins on January 1, 1959 and continues through 

December 31, 1964.
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

11 of 77

4.4 Site Locations Associated with Radiological Operations

Through the course of ongoing dose reconstruction and continued research for the De Soto Avenue 

Facility and the SSFL-Area IV site, NIOSH has determined that the site-specific and claimant-specific 

data available for the time period of this evaluation (1959-1964) are insufficient to allow NIOSH to 

characterize worker movements throughout the De Soto Avenue site. NIOSH is therefore unable to 

define individual worker exposure scenarios based on specific work locations within the De Soto 

Avenue Facility during the period from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964. 

4.5 Job Descriptions Affected by Radiological Operations

Through the course of ongoing dose reconstruction and research for the De Soto Avenue Facility and 

the SSFL-Area IV site, NIOSH has determined that the site-specific and claimant-specific data 

available for the De Soto Avenue Facility for the time period of this evaluation (1959-1964) are 

insufficient to allow NIOSH to determine that any specific work group was not potentially exposed to 

radioactive material releases or possible subsequent contamination. NIOSH has insufficient 

information associating job titles and/or job assignments with specific radiological operations or 

conditions and is, therefore, unable to define potential radiation exposure conditions based on worker 

job descriptions.

5.0 Summary of Available Monitoring Data for the Proposed Class

The primary data used for determining internal exposures are derived from personal monitoring data, 

such as urinalyses, fecal samples, and whole-body counting results. If these are unavailable, the air 

monitoring data from breathing zone and general area monitoring are used to estimate the potential 

internal exposure. If personal monitoring and breathing zone area monitoring are unavailable, internal 

exposures can sometimes be estimated using more general area monitoring, process information, and 

information characterizing and quantifying the source term.

This same hierarchy is used for determining the external exposures to the cancer site. Personal 

monitoring data from film badges or thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are the primary data used 

to determine such external exposures. If there are no personal monitoring data, exposure rate surveys, 

process knowledge, and source term modeling can sometimes be used to reconstruct the potential 

exposure.

A more detailed discussion of the information required for dose reconstruction can be found in 

OCAS-IG-001, External Dose Reconstruction Implementation Guideline, and OCAS-IG-002, Internal 

Dose Reconstruction Implementation Guideline. These documents are available at: 

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/ocasdose.html.

5.1 Data Capture Efforts and Sources Reviewed 

In addition to examining its Site Research Database (SRDB) to locate documents supporting the 

evaluation of the proposed class, NIOSH completed an extensive database and Internet search for 

information regarding the De Soto Avenue Facility. The database search included the DOE Legacy 

Management Considered Sites database, the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information 

(OSTI) database, the Energy Citations database, the Atomic Energy Technical Report database, and 
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

12 of 77

the Hanford Declassified Document Retrieval System. In addition to general Internet searches, the 

NIOSH Internet search included OSTI OpenNet Advanced searches, OSTI Information Bridge 

Fielded searches, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Agency-wide Documents Access and 

Management (ADAMS) web searches, the DOE Office of Human Radiation Experiments website, and 

the DOE-National Nuclear Security Administration-Nevada Site Office-search. 

NIOSH data capture efforts have also included visits to the SSFL site in September and November 

2009, and a visit to the San Bruno Federal Records Center in September 2009. NIOSH has worked 

with representatives from DOE Legacy Management and the SSFL site in an attempt to gather 

documents and data relevant to dose reconstruction of claims for the De Soto Avenue Facility and the 

other related Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) sites, which included the De Soto 

Avenue Facility, the Downey Facility, the Canoga Avenue Facility, and Area IV of the SSFL 

(ORAUT-TKBS-0038-2). These facilities were operated by Atomics International, a division of 

North American Aviation. NIOSH’s SRDB currently contains over 1,500 documents associated with 

the ETEC-related sites, including over 200 documents associated specifically with the De Soto 

Avenue Facility. Attachment One contains a summary of De Soto-related documents. The summary 

identifies specific data capture details for each document retrieved.

5.2 Worker Interviews

Given that the De Soto Avenue Facility shared many radiological practices and radiological recordkeeping programs with the SSFL-Area IV facility, NIOSH reviewed the information obtained in 

previously-conducted ETEC-related (i.e., Area IV of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, Canoga 

Avenue Facility, De Soto Avenue Facility, and Downey Facility) interviews to determine its relevance 

to the De Soto Avenue Facility. Although not interviewed exclusively for the purpose of obtaining 

information about the De Soto Facility, NIOSH deemed the following seven interviews relevant to the 

De Soto effort because the interviewees either worked at, or provided information that could be 

considered pertinent to the De Soto Facility.

5.3 Internal Personnel Monitoring Data

There are currently 219 De Soto Avenue Facility claims in the NIOSH DCAS Claims Tracking 

System (NOCTS). Ninety-seven of the 219 De Soto claims have employment in the time period 

under evaluation in this report (1959-1964), with 50 of the 97 claims having internal monitoring data 

available to NIOSH in the NOCTS database.

Radionuclides of concern for the facilities and processes at the De Soto Avenue Facility included 

uranium, fission products, and activation products. Exposure to transuranics may have also been

possible (NIOSH, 2009). Details regarding the various internal dosimetry analyses used at the De 

Soto Avenue Facility, and the associated minimum detectable activities, are presented in the Technical 

Basis Document for the Energy Technology Engineering Center - Occupational Internal Dose

(ORAUT-TKBS-0038-5).

Since the De Soto Facility was operated by the same company as was SSFL-Area IV, both facilities 

shared the same worker monitoring program and record keeping practices. Today, bioassay records

for all SSFL-Area IV related facilities (Downey Facility, Canoga Avenue Facility, De Soto Facility) 

are stored at SSFL-Area IV. Subsequent to the NIOSH evaluations of SEC-00093 and SEC00156, 

which recommended SEC classes for SSFL- Area IV for 1955-1958 and 1959-1964 respectively, 

NIOSH has determined that the same internal monitoring data deficiencies existed at the De Soto 

facility. 

NIOSH has found indications that, similar to SSFL-Area IV, not all potentially-exposed workers at De 

Soto were included in the internal dose monitoring program. Consequently, an individual worker’s 

potential for internal radiation exposure at the De Soto Avenue Facility cannot be determined based 

solely on the existence of an individual monitoring record. Because of this, the reconstruction of

internal doses for unmonitored workers, who had the potential for exposure, requires the development 

of a coworker model. NIOSH worked with current site representatives for SSFL-Area IV to obtain 

data to develop an internal coworker model applicable to both the Area IV SSFL, as well as the De 

Soto sites.

During a review of the available data, NIOSH discovered that SSFL-Area IV and DeSoto facilities

used a number of bioassay labs throughout its history. Each vendor had its own reporting methods and 

report format. SSFL-Area IV historically maintained the results in each worker’s health and safety file

as reported and also transferred these results onto sheets summarizing the results for an individual; 

these were called the McBee cards and are relatively consistent through time. For some analyses of 

interest, the McBee cards had only a "+" entered when the result was positive and the reviewer was 

directed to go to the original lab card for the magnitude of the result. NIOSH worked with the SSFLArea IV and De Soto site representative to evaluate the varying formats for the original vendor lab 

reports, and to assign more appropriate and descriptive field names, enter missing information, and 

recombine the data into a searchable database.

Internal monitoring data for both sites are available beginning in late 1958, but all bioassay data prior 

to 1961 are very limited in scope and quantity, and the data from these years was not incorporated 

into the bioassay data base. In spite of the efforts described above, for the years 1961 and 1962, it 
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

14 of 77

could not be verified that the available database contained all the bioassay sample results collected 

from workers at the facility. Further, it was not possible for NIOSH to resolve all questions about the 

data in those years. By 1963, the data consist of over 1,100 urinalysis results, and over 1,400 results 

are available for 1964, but there are still approximately 135 analyses for these years that are indicated 

to be positive for which NIOSH does not have a value to quantify the positive result.

Because of these shortcomings, NIOSH ultimately determined that the available internal data and 

supporting reports contained a substantial amount of ambiguous or indeterminate field entries for 

years prior to 1965, making the available data inadequate to support the development of bounding coworker distribution models for years prior to 1965. Beginning in 1965, the data available to NIOSH 

are sufficient for the development of bounding co-worker internal dose distributions for both facilities. 

The available data include over 1,350 urinalysis results for the year 1965, with adequate values being 

given for positive results. There are over 17,000 results for post-1964 years, and NIOSH has 

determined the data to be sufficient for statistical modeling.

5.4 External Personnel Monitoring Data

There are currently 219 De Soto Avenue Facility claims in NOCTS. Ninety-seven of the

219 De Soto claims have employment in the time period under evaluation in this report (1959-1964),

with 85 of the 97 claims having external monitoring data available to NIOSH in the NOCTS database.

NIOSH has access to photon, beta, and neutron external dosimetry results, as well as other supporting 

data, for the entire period evaluated in this report (available for all years of site operation). The policy 

at SSFL-Area IV, and also at the De Soto Avenue Facility, was to assign the applicable dosimetry to 

anyone with the potential for photon, beta, or neutron exposure; it was assigned based on job 

assignments that required exposure to radioactive materials (NIOSH, 2009; ORAUT-TKBS-0038-6). 

Details regarding the various analyses used, and the associated minimum detectable activities, are 

presented in Atomics International – Occupational External Dose (ORAUT-TKBS-0038-6).

Through the course of ongoing dose reconstruction and investigations, NIOSH determined that 

although external monitoring data are available for most workers at the De Soto Avenue Facility, 

some workers could have received external radiation exposures that went unmonitored. To assess 

potential external dose to unmonitored workers, NIOSH has developed a co-worker dose distribution 

model (ORAUT-OTIB-0077).

5.5 Workplace Monitoring Data

NIOSH has access to limited workplace air, surface, and environmental monitoring data for the De 

Soto Avenue Facility prior to 1965. These data are inadequate for sufficiently accurate dose 

reconstructions in the absence of personnel monitoring data. 

5.6 Radiological Source Term Data

Sources of radiation doses to members of the evaluated class included, but were not limited to, nuclear 

fuel, neutron-irradiated samples, a small research reactor, and numerous radiochemistry operations 

involving a variety of radionuclides. The source term and activity data available to NIOSH are 

inadequate for sufficiently accurate dose reconstructions in the absence of personnel or workplace 

monitoring data. 
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

15 of 77

6.0 Feasibility of Dose Reconstruction for the Proposed Class

42 C.F.R. § 83.14(b) states that HHS will consider a NIOSH determination that there was insufficient 

information to complete a dose reconstruction, as indicated in this present case, to be sufficient,

without further consideration, to conclude that it is not feasible to estimate the levels of radiation 

doses of individual members of the class with sufficient accuracy. 

In the case of a petition submitted to NIOSH under 42 C.F.R. § 83.9(b), NIOSH has already 

determined that a dose reconstruction cannot be completed for an employee at the DOE or AWE 

facility. This determination by NIOSH provides the basis for the petition by the affected claimant. 

Per § 83.14(a), the NIOSH-proposed class defines those employees who, based on completed 

research, are similarly affected and for whom, as a class, dose reconstruction is similarly not feasible.

In accordance with § 83.14(a), NIOSH may establish a second class of co-workers at the facility for 

whom NIOSH believes that dose reconstruction is similarly infeasible, but for whom additional 

research and analysis is required. If so identified, NIOSH would address this second class in a 

separate SEC evaluation rather than delay consideration of the claim currently under evaluation (see 

Section 10). This would allow NIOSH, the Board, and HHS to complete, without delay, their 

consideration of the class that includes a claimant for whom NIOSH has already determined a dose 

reconstruction cannot be completed, and whose only possible remedy under EEOICPA is the addition 

of a class of employees to the SEC.

This section of the report summarizes research findings by which NIOSH determined that it lacked 

sufficient information to complete the relevant dose reconstruction and on which basis it has defined 

the class of employees for which dose reconstruction is not feasible. NIOSH’s determination relies on 

the same statutory and regulatory criteria that govern consideration of all SEC petitions.

6.1 Feasibility of Estimating Internal Exposures

NIOSH has evaluated the available personnel and workplace monitoring data and source term 

information and has determined that there are insufficient data for estimating internal exposures, as 

described below.

As presented in Section 3.0 of this report, HHS has already designated an SEC class for SSFL-Area 

IV workers for the period from January 1, 1955 through December 31, 1958 (HHS, 2009). NIOSH 

subsequently determined that the available bioassay data have limitations through 1964, which made

it necessary for NIOSH to propose a second SEC class for SSFL-Area IV to include DOE employees 

who worked at Area IV of the SSFL from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964 (NIOSH, 

2010).

NIOSH has determined that the De Soto Avenue Facility shared many radiological practices and 

radiological recordkeeping programs with the SSFL-Area IV facility. Through extensive research into 

operations at the SSFL-Area IV facility, NIOSH has determined that there were also insufficient 

access controls in place at the De Soto Avenue Facility; as a result, there may have been some 

workers who should have been monitored, but were not monitored. Although bioassay data are 

available for most monitored workers, NIOSH has determined that some De Soto Avenue Facility

workers could have received intakes of radioactive materials, during the years prior to 1965, which

went unmonitored. As presented in Section 5.3 of this report, NIOSH has determined that the 
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

16 of 77

available internal monitoring data contain a substantial amount of ambiguous or indeterminate results 

for periods prior to 1965, making the available data inadequate for developing bounding co-worker 

distribution models for years prior to 1965. These NIOSH findings are consistent with those 

presented for SSFL-Area IV in SEC Petition Evaluation Report for Petition SEC-00156, Santa Susana 

Field Laboratory-Area IV (NIOSH, 2010).

NIOSH does not have access to sufficient personnel monitoring, workplace monitoring, or source 

term data to estimate potential internal exposures to fission products and other radionuclides at the De 

Soto Avenue Facility during the period from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964. 

Consequently, NIOSH finds that it is not feasible to estimate, with sufficient accuracy, internal 

exposures to fission products and other radionuclides and resulting doses for the class of employees 

covered by this evaluation.

Although NIOSH found that it is not possible to completely reconstruct internal radiation doses for the 

period from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, NIOSH intends to use any internal 

monitoring data that may become available for an individual claim (and that can be interpreted using 

existing NIOSH dose reconstruction processes or procedures). Dose reconstructions for workers at 

the De Soto Avenue Facility, during the period from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, but 

who do not qualify for inclusion in the SEC, may be performed using these data as appropriate.

6.2 Feasibility of Estimating External Exposures

This evaluation responds to a petition based on NIOSH determining that internal radiation exposures 

to fission products and other radionuclides could not be reconstructed for a dose reconstruction 

referred to NIOSH by the Department of Labor (DOL). As noted above, HHS will consider this 

determination to be sufficient without further consideration to determine that it is not feasible to 

estimate the levels of radiation doses of individual members of the class with sufficient accuracy. 

Consequently, it is not necessary for NIOSH to fully evaluate the feasibility of reconstructing external 

radiation exposures for the class of workers covered by this report.

Since NIOSH has found that it is unable to bound internal dose, an exhaustive evaluation of feasibility 

of external dose reconstruction was not performed for the purposes of this report. However, partial 

dose reconstructions may be feasible, on a case-by-case basis, using available personnel monitoring 

data. To assess potential external dose to unmonitored workers, NIOSH has developed a co-worker 

dose distribution model that is applicable to the De Soto Avenue Facility (ORAUT-OTIB-0077).

Adequate reconstruction of medical dose is likely to be feasible by using claimant-favorable 

assumptions in the technical information bulletin titled, Dose Reconstruction from Occupationally 

Related Diagnostic X-Ray Procedures (ORAUT-OTIB-0006), and in site profile documents 

associated with the ETEC-related sites.

6.3 Class Parameters Associated with Infeasibility

Consistent with the NIOSH findings in SEC Petition Evaluation Report for Petition SEC-00156, 

Santa Susana Field Laboratory-Area IV (NIOSH, 2010) for the SSFL-Area IV site, NIOSH has 

determined that it is unable to estimate, with sufficient accuracy, the total internal dose for workers at 

the De Soto Avenue Facility prior to 1965. NIOSH has therefore recommended that the proposed 
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

17 of 77

SEC class for the De Soto Avenue Facility include the period from January 1, 1959 through December 

31, 1964.

As discussed in Section 4.4, NIOSH is unable to define individual worker exposure scenarios based 

on specific work locations at the De Soto Avenue Facility. NIOSH therefore recommends that the 

class definition include the entire De Soto Avenue Facility during the specified time period.

NIOSH has found insufficient documentation associating job titles and/or job assignments with 

specific radiological operations or conditions. Without such information, NIOSH is unable to define 

the proposed SEC class based on worker job descriptions or the availability of individual monitoring 

data. NIOSH has therefore recommended that the class include all employees of the Department of 

Energy, its predecessor agencies, and their contractors and subcontractors who worked at the De Soto 

Avenue Facility during the specified time period, regardless of whether a worker was monitored for 

radiation exposure.

7.0 Summary of Feasibility Findings for Petition SEC-00168

This report evaluates the feasibility for completing dose reconstructions for workers at the De Soto 

Avenue Facility from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964. NIOSH determined that members 

of this class may have received radiation exposures from intakes of fission products and other 

radionuclides. NIOSH lacks sufficient information, which includes biological monitoring data, 

sufficient air monitoring information, or sufficient process and radiological source term information 

that would allow it to estimate the potential internal exposures to which the proposed class may have 

been exposed.

NIOSH has documented herein that it cannot complete the dose reconstructions related to this petition. 

The basis of this finding demonstrates that NIOSH does not have access to sufficient information to 

estimate either the maximum radiation dose incurred by any member of the class or to estimate such 

radiation doses more precisely than a maximum dose estimate.

Although NIOSH found that it is not possible to completely reconstruct radiation doses for the period 

from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, NIOSH intends to use any internal or external 

monitoring data that may become available for an individual claim (and that can be interpreted using 

existing NIOSH dose reconstruction processes or procedures). Dose reconstructions for individuals 

employed at the De Soto Avenue Facility during the period from January 1, 1959 through December 

31, 1964, but who do not qualify for inclusion in the SEC, may be performed using these data as 

appropriate.

8.0 Evaluation of Health Endangerment for Petition SEC-00168

The health endangerment determination for the class of employees covered by this evaluation report is 

governed by EEOICPA and 42 C.F.R. § 83.14(b) and § 83.13(c)(3). Pursuant to these requirements, if 

it is not feasible to estimate with sufficient accuracy radiation doses for members of the class, NIOSH 

must determine that there is a reasonable likelihood that such radiation doses may have endangered 

the health of members of the class. The regulations require NIOSH to assume that any duration of 

unprotected exposure may have endangered the health of members of a class when it has been 
SEC-00168 03-24-10 Rev.0 De Soto Avenue Facility

18 of 77

established that the class may have been exposed to radiation during a discrete incident likely to have 

involved levels of exposure similarly high to those occurring during nuclear criticality incidents. If 

the occurrence of such an exceptionally high-level exposure has not been established, then NIOSH is 

required to specify that health was endangered for those workers who were employed for a number of 

work days aggregating at least 250 work days within the parameters established for the class or in 

combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more other classes of 

employees in the SEC. 

NIOSH has determined that members of the class were not exposed to radiation during a discrete 

incident likely to have involved levels of exposure similarly high to those occurring during nuclear 

criticality incidents. However, the evidence reviewed in this evaluation indicates that some workers in 

the class may have accumulated chronic radiation exposures through intakes of fission products and 

other radionuclides and from direct exposure to radioactive materials. Consequently, NIOSH is 

specifying that health was endangered for those workers covered by this evaluation who were 

employed for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days within the parameters 

established for this class or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one 

or more other classes of employees in the SEC.

9.0 NIOSH-Proposed Class for Petition SEC-00168

The evaluation defines a single class of employees for which NIOSH cannot estimate radiation doses 

with sufficient accuracy. This class includes all employees of the Department of Energy, its 

predecessor agencies, and their contractors and subcontractors who worked at the De Soto Avenue 

Facility in Los Angeles County, California, from January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1964, for a 

number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this 

employment or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more 

other classes of employees included in the Special Exposure Cohort.

10.0 Evaluation of Second Similar Class

In accordance with § 83.14(a), NIOSH may establish a second class of co-workers at the facility, 

similar to the class defined in Section 9.0, for whom NIOSH believes that dose reconstruction may not 

be feasible, and for whom additional research and analyses are required. If a second class is 

identified, it would require additional research and analyses. Such a class would be addressed in a 

separate SEC evaluation rather than delay consideration of the current claim. At this time, NIOSH has 

not identified a second similar class of employees at the De Soto Avenue Facility for whom dose 

reconstruction may not be feasible.
